Conclusion

 

 

If you are health or exercise conscious then the Withings Pulse is an activity tracker you should invest in. It is a lightweight, unobtrusive and portable device that makes tracking various health metrics simple and enjoyable. The amount of data that it is able to capture and analyze is quite impressive. The Withings Healthmate app makes interpreting and viewing this data both educational and fun.

The Withings Pulse allows users set goals that can be tracked and helps them make healthier lifestyle decisions. If you already are part of the Withings ecosystem then the Pulse will integrate in nicely and provide additional health metrics for the Healthmate app to interpret.

While it is not the perfect activity tracker it is by far the most complete on the market today. It has the capabilities of its competitors plus the built-in heart rate monitor helps differentiate it from the pack. It is competitively priced in the same price range as the FitBit One and is cheaper than the Jawbone Up.

As someone who is health conscience I know I will continue to use the Withings Pulse in my training regimen and beyond.
